🔥If you want to interest your kids (and also many adults😁) , do this experiment with them.. I did this video for all of you.. ☺️ But mainly it is really fun for little kids.. And maybe you can also capture a nice video of it and shere it with us.. 🙏👏

When you blow out the candle🌬️, the heated vapors from the wax rise up as white smoke. As soon as you hold a lit match over it, the fire will go down again to the wick by igniting the vapor... 🔥

Why is the candle burning? 

Because the wick is absorbent it sucks the liquid wax into the wick and upward into the flame. Once the liquid wax gets hot enough, it then turns from a liquid into a gas. The hot gas then reacts with the oxygen from the air and is burned, creating the candle flame that we see. This means that the candle flame is actually created by the burning wax gas—or vapor—and not by the wick itself or the solid or even liquid wax.
